=Sir Walter Scott's Poetical Works.= Edited with a Biographical and
Critical Memoir by FRANCIS TURNER PALGRAVE, and copious Notes. pp.
xliii., 559.
"_We can almost sympathise with a middle-aged grumbler, who,
after reading Mr. Palgrave's memoir and introduction, should
exclaim--'Why was there not such an edition of Scott when I was a
schoolboy?'_"--GUARDIAN.
=Complete Works of Robert Burns.=--THE POEMS, SONGS, AND LETTERS,
edited from the best Printed and Manuscript Authorities, with
Glossarial Index, Notes, and a Biographical Memoir by ALEXANDER SMITH.
pp. lxii., 636.
"_Admirable in all respects._"--SPECTATOR. "_The cheapest, the
most perfect, and the most interesting edition which has ever been
published._"--BELL'S MESSENGER.
=Robinson Crusoe.= Edited after the Original Editions, with a
Biographical Introduction by HENRY KINGSLEY. pp. xxxi., 607.
"_A most excellent and in every way desirable edition._"--COURT
CIRCULAR. "_Macmillan's 'Globe' Robinson Crusoe is a book to have
and to keep._"--MORNING STAR.
=Goldsmith's Miscellaneous Works.= Edited, with Biographical
Introduction, by Professor MASSON. pp. lx., 695.
"_Such an admirable compendium of the facts of Goldsmith's life,
and so careful and minute a delineation of the mixed traits of his
peculiar character as to be a very model of a literary biography in
little._"--SCOTSMAN.
=Pope's Poetical Works.= Edited, with Notes and Introductory Memoir, by
ADOLPHUS WILLIAM WARD, M.A., Fellow of St. Peter's College, Cambridge,
and Professor of History in Owens College, Manchester. pp. lii., 508.
_The LITERARY CHURCHMAN remarks:_ "_The editor's own notes and
introductory memoir are excellent, the memoir alone would be cheap
and well worth buying at the price of the whole volume._"
=Dryden's Poetical Works.= Edited, with a Memoir, Revised Text, and
Notes, by W. D. CHRISTIE, M.A., of Trinity College, Cambridge. pp.
lxxxvii., 662.
"_An admirable edition, the result of great research and of a
careful revision of the text. The memoir prefixed contains,
within less than ninety pages, as much sound criticism and
as comprehensive a biography as the student of Dryden need
desire._"--PALL MALL GAZETTE.
=Cowper's Poetical Works.= Edited, with Notes and Biographical
Introduction, by WILLIAM BENHAM, Vicar of Addington and Professor of
Modern History in Queen's College, London. pp. lxxiii., 536.
"_Mr. Benham's edition of Cowper is one of permanent value. The
biographical introduction is excellent, full of information,
singularly neat and readable and modest--indeed too modest in its
comments. The notes are concise and accurate, and the editor has
been able to discover and introduce some hitherto unprinted matter.
Altogether the book is a very excellent one._"--SATURDAY REVIEW.
